Slow Cooker Chipotle Beef

SLOW COOKER CHIPOTLE BEEF — Smoky shredded roast beef, cooked in spices and chipotles in adobo, then served with a tangy cabbage and red onion slaw.

If you haven’t noticed, slow cooked, shredded meat is a favorite around here. It’s just so easy to throw a roast in the slow cooker, turn it on, and have dinner on the table 8 hours later. Plus, I know my hungry boys will always be satisfied. And this Slow Cooker Chipotle Beef was no exception!

This is some of the most flavorful beef I’ve served up in a long time. The blend of spices and seasonings is just perfect–the meat comes out so tender and flavorful!

And my whole family loves it. It’s one of the meals I repeat often, and I don’t repeat a lot of meals.

If you’ve ever used canned chipotles in adobo, you know that they’re really spicy. So the 2-3 tablespoons called for in this recipe may seem like a lot. But trust me, it works.

The beef isn’t super spicy, but it’s got an undertone of smoky heat that’s just wonderful. Our favorite way to enjoy this beef is in tacos. We pile it into warm flour tortillas and top it with a cilantro lime slaw.

The combination of flavors is out-of-this world! I’ve included the slaw recipe, since we love it so much. But this beef is also great in burritos, nachos, and even served over rice.

In addition to the cilantro lime slaw, we also like to top our chipotle beef tacos with sour cream, hot sauce and pickled jalapenos. But feel free to use your family’s favorite taco toppings.
